The first time I met John Reardon, founder of Deep Ellum Brewing Co., was in the summer of 2011. It was a hot, bright day, and he was balanced atop a giant wooden spool outside his brewery, drenched in sweat, shirt off, headphones on. While in the midst of building…
Before now, the televisions were dark, the patios were deserted, the mason jars sat empty and the regulars stayed home. That all changed Friday. Stan’s Blue Note, the Lower Greenville Avenue staple that opened in 1952, is welcoming customers again. Mid-August, Mike McRae, the proprietor of Stan’s, which is one…
